Sharon didn't expect to have nightmares in the afterlife. In fact, nothing about Baedal is anything like she might have guessed. Sometimes, she tries to pretend everything between the Cylon attack and her death didn't happen - that she died in the first attack and ended up here.

Sometimes it works, but not very often.

She wonders what would happen if she tried to kill herself here. Could she? If she can, where would she go?

Mostly, she thinks she might as well stay. If there are any Cylons (any other Cylons, a treacherous part of her thinks), they're well hidden; and, after all, there's no one she loves here to betray.

(She doesn't open the book she got at the swap meet.)

After a while exploring and watching, she finds herself drawn to the arena. She was never the brawler like Helo or Starbuck, but she'd taken her turns in the boxing ring on Galactica. She was a trained member of the Colonial fleet. And, really, what was the worst that could happen?

Nothing she felt she wouldn't deserve, in honesty. And it would feel good to be in motion if not in flight. She may look out of place at first, but she does know how to fight.

"You sound like a man with a life worth getting back to," she comments, neither kind nor unkind. Sharon wonders sometimes if she should pretend to want to get home.
